Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (105° to 115°) |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
vegetable cooking spray |
3 tablespoons sun-dried tomato tidbits |
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can no-salt-added stewed tomatoes, undrained and chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 1/2 teaspoons cornmeal |
3/4 cup drained, coarsely chopped canned artichoke hearts |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded italian provolone cheese |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water in a large bowl, and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 1/4 cups flour and salt to form a soft dough.
2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes), and add enough remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
3. Combine tomato tidbits and next 6 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until reduced to 1 1/3 cups, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; let cool.
4. Punch dough down, and roll into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a 12-inch pizza pan coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Cover; let rise in a warm place 30 minutes.
5. Spread tomato mixture evenly over prepared crust, and top with artichoke hearts and cheese.
6. Bake at 500° for 12 minutes on bottom rack of oven. Remove the pizza to a cutting board, and let stand for 5 minutes.
